I was looking @ John Deere's backpack style leaf blowers, and I found the biggest one:

no would that be enough to effectively boost a v6 or maybe even a 305 (granted it would only be a few PSI, but maybe it would make a few HP's?

You think we could make up a ***** kit and get rich?

while you are it it ive got a set of muffler bearings for sale

 

superblue- in all seriousness, the cfm for a 305 at 6000rpm is close to 600 cfm. now, remember, that to creat boost, you need to build pressure. to build pressure, you have to create a pressure zone that can have more cfm pumped into it than what the motor can take at any given point, this is what creates the boost. the problem with a leaf blower is that the fan blades dont make a seal, there for boost couldnt be built becuase the blower wouldnt be capable (due to blade design and open tolerances)to hold boost. theoretically it could to a certain rpm, but they would need a fan design that wouldnt allow the air to escape.

before this gets out of hand, I really was just kidding.. -blue

 

yeah that sure was funny, now it's time to lock this before all the lawn and garden centers sell out of leaf blowers.
